India Seeks to Expand Processed Food Exports to UK Following Trade Agreement
India's processed food exports to the UK have significant growth potential, currently accounting for just 0.6% of the UK's $50.68 billion annual imports. The India-UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), implemented on July 15, 2026, eliminates tariffs on processed foods, shrimp, and instant coffee, enhancing competitiveness for Indian producers. The Trade Promotion Council of India (TPCI) and UK-India Business Council (UKIBC) have partnered to facilitate trade missions, share market intelligence, and support SME growth in both countries, aiming to boost bilateral trade in the food processing sector.
